Jurte Jetzt! Nomadisches Design neu gelebt

In the organizer's words:

The exhibition "Yurt now!" shows contemporary perspectives on mobility, sustainability and traditional skills using the example of the Central Asian yurt. The round tents still represent the nomadic lifestyle today and also serve as a source of inspiration for new ideas and designs. At the center of the exhibition are two yurts from the MARKK collections - one created by the Kyrgyz textile master Turdu Kydyrbaeva in the 1980s and a Kazakh yurt acquired in 1906. Expedition photographs from the Kazakh steppe of the late 19th century draw attention to colonial contexts. Contemporary perspectives are opened up by the artist Altynai Osmoeva, who takes Kyrgyz textile art and the structures and significance of the yurt as the starting point for her work, as well as future designs for yurt architecture by the research and design office Rural Urban Framework, which are intended to meet new living requirements in the growing outskirts of the Mongolian metropolis of Ulaanbataar.
